Started out with a Smith model 36, and carried it for years. Then came the 9MM craze, and suddenly I HAD to have more firepower! Smith once agian answered the call with a model 39, and all was right with the world. Wasn't long before the stopping ability of the 9 came into question and I too "jumped ship" from the 9MM camp.
Next came a Kimber Pro-Carry in 45 this was it! Without question "the prefect gun", Every thing in the past was simply bad judgement on my part. 45APC or stay home! Wasn't to many years later that the kimber became too much of everything.
So now should you pass me on the street,you'll never notice, that my old friend, a smith model 36 (same one) is back in my right pocket as it was back in the late 60's. Do I need or should carry more gun? If I think so I have several to choose from!
